The fellowship at the Art Museum of Great Britain was too good for Dinah to pass up. She never expected that she'd find herself homesick and unhappy. With her husband Jonathan busy opening a London branch of his investment banking business and with her cousin Coleman home in New York struggling to get her second magazine up to speed, Dinah feels very much alone. Fortunately, she makes friends with Rachel Ransome and, through her, meets a member of the royal family. Things seem to be turning around...until Rachel comes under suspicion of the Palace Police, sweeping Dinah into her troubles.

Now Coleman needs to come to England to help as the source of Rachel's difficulties becomes more apparent - and more vexing. Can the three women join forces to extricate themselves from a conflict that goes back centuries?
